February Books Bought

I had a nearly perfect month going until yesterday, when I walked into Daedalus Books empty-handed and walked out with...well, most of the books listed below:


Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Daedalus has several classics in sturdy trade paperbacks for $3.95, this one from Black Dog & Leventhan Publishers.





The Scarlet Letter & The House of Seven Gables - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Another trade paperback, this one from Toby Books.






The Restless Dead (2007) - edited by Deborah Noyes

A YA anthology of supernatural stories featuring stories by Kelly Link, Holly Black and others.






The Naming (2006) - Alison Croggon

YA fantasy. Hey, why not?






Considering Genius: Writings on Jazz (NF 2006) - Stanley Crouch

I flipped through several of these essays and thought they looked good. When I found a chapter on Duke Ellington's Black, Brown and Beige (which I also found on CD at Daedalus), I knew I had to have it.






The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War (NF 1995) - Lynn H. Nicholas

The only book not purchased at Daedalus (thus ending the Daedalus commercial), this is the story of Nazi Germany's attempt to purge "degenerate" art from Europe.

Does the Crouch come with a soundtrack?

Man, wouldn't that be great?
